After configuring the Sylpheed source, you would edit the right Makefile
(src/Makefile) and add missing compiler/linker parameters. Then run "make"
to build.

But you could also modify /usr/lib/pkgconfig/gtkspell-2.0.pc
and add  -laspell  to the "Libs" line, then reconfigure Sylpheed source.

Because Sylpheed needs to catch up with the changes in other projects.
Sylpheed uses GtkSpell together with ASpell, but some releases of GtkSpell
no longer link the ASpell library explicitly, so applications need to do
that instead.
